Sheryl Crow, Tuesday Night Music Club
Sheryl CrowTUESDAY NIGHT
MUSIC CLUB.
Sheryl Crow's debut grew out of a loose songwriting circle rather than a conventional star-making session, and that collaborative beginning became both the album's title and its creative engine.

SEVEN THINGS
WORTH KNOWING.
Recording stories, credits, physical details and numbers worth keeping with the record.
Tuesday Night Music Club was released on August 3, 1993 and contains 11 songs.
Bill Bottrell produced the album.
The title comes from the weekly songwriting circle where Crow worked with musicians including Kevin Gilbert, David Baerwald, David Ricketts and Bottrell.
"All I Wanna Do" was based on a poem by Wyn Cooper.
Apple Music's album history says "Run, Baby, Run" was written on the night Bill Clinton was elected president.
Sheryl Crow's official site says the album sold more than five million copies in the United States.
The project brought Crow three 1995 Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year, Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
WHY THIS
ALBUM MATTERS.
Tuesday Night Music Club turned a collaborative writing room into a mainstream breakthrough. The record sounds casual and conversational, but underneath it is a dense network of co-writers, studio musicians and production choices.

NUMBERS.
TRACKS

U.S. COPIES

GRAMMYS

THE
PHYSICAL OBJECT.
The cover feels almost scrapbook-like, matching an album born from a group of musicians gathering, writing and trying ideas rather than following one strict visual or musical concept.
